Dear Expectant Mom

Hello sweet friend,

We are delighted that you are considering us to raise your
child as our own. We will never completely understand the choice that you must
be facing. However, we have been praying for you every day since we decided to
adopt. Our prayer is that God continues to give you strength and peace to make
the best decision for you and your sweet child.

We have been married for seven years. We met when Kelley was
a senior in high school. So yes, I married my high school sweetheart. We dated
for six years and were married in 2010. One of the best days of my life was the
day Richard proposed to me at our favorite restaurant. The shock on my face
must have been priceless. I’ll never forget our wedding day when we committed
our lives to each other. Those memories are never far for me.

Over the last four years, we have been trying to grow our
family. I grew up with two brothers and I always wanted to have children of my
own to love, laugh with and see grow into adults. Yet we have faced many
challenges with infertility. Our journey has included three fertility
treatments and I also had exploratory surgery to help diagnose the underlying
issues. Despite the best of modern medicine and treatment, we still have no
answer.

Therefore, we decided to adopt a child because we so want to
be parents. We have felt God calling us to give a child a loving home. We have
had such a peace since making this decision, and we can’t wait to hold your baby,
love them and teach them all of our values.

We believe so much in the beauty of adoption, as we both
grew up with cousins who were adopted. Our extended family easily embraced our
cousins into the fold and they have always seemed more like siblings than cousins
to us. We are so blessed to be close with both sides of our families with many
aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins who are anxiously waiting on the new
addition of the family to arrive.

We live in a quiet neighborhood in Georgia. We love to have
friends and family over to our home to share time together. On holidays, and
during the spring, summer, and fall we love to go camping. Richard and I love
being in nature, especially with our friends and their families, to kayak,
swim, fish, and go on boat rides. Also, during the summer we like to go to the
beach with our extended family. Going to the beach with our entire family is a
tradition we hold fast to even as all our families grow. During the fall, we
love to go to college football games or have friends and family over to watch
the game together. Christmas is also a very special time for us as we gather
together.

Richard is going to be an amazing father. He is already so
loving and kind with our twelve nieces and nephews. They love to play with him
and it always makes me smile to see how they react to his unconditional love. I
often daydream about him with our child teaching them to play ball, golf, or teaching
them everything he knows about cars just as his dad taught him. Richard loves
to play golf, fish, camp, and to go to the race track with his father. He works
in the agricultural irrigation business and will one day run his own company. He
is very handy around the house and can fix pretty much anything, which is
helpful because I am not. Can you relate?

I work in the medical field, which was inspired by both of
my parents’ joy for helping others. My dad was a pastor and my mom was a
teacher so I was instilled with strong values to serve. My faith in the
goodness of God pushes me to grow and become the best me that I can. Above all
else, I want to be a mother. I am really fortunate to have had two loving
parents who helped mold me into the woman I am today, yet it hasn’t been
without loss. My dad passed away suddenly two years ago and since then I have
been experiencing a new strength that I hadn’t known before. That resolve
drives our desire to be parents. We have felt the calling so deeply in our
hearts and we believe that it is in our near future.

We both truly want the best for you and your child, and we hope
this letter gives you a little insight on who we are. We hope that it speaks to
you to let you know what kind of life your child would have if they were a part
of our family. We will always keep you and your child in our prayers. Thank you
for taking interest in our family.

Sincerely,Richard and Kelley
